The United States Congress established the Bureau of Ethnology in 1879. Directed by surveyor, geologist, and U.S. Army Major John Wesley Powell, the Bureau collected European-American knowledge about Indigenous nations, motivated by the false ?vanishing race? theory that Indigenous cultures and ways of life were naturally fading out of existence ? though in reality they were being displaced by the westward expansion of the United States government and European-American settlers. The Bureau of Ethnology gathered thousands of photographs, illustrations, and other documentation of Indigenous cultures until it merged with other divisions of the Smithsonian Institute in the 1960s.?? John Wesley Powell (1834-1902) was an American geologist, U.S. Army soldier, surveyor and explorer. He is most famous for his 1869 geographic expedition down the Green and Colorado Rivers, which resulted in thorough cartographic and scientific documentation of the rivers and surrounding canyon country, including the Grand Canyon. . …

[1st ed., 1st printing] ; 177 p. : ill., maps ; 22 cm. ; LCCN 73085028 ; ISBN 9780820303321, 9780820303628, 0820303321, 0820303623 ; OCLC 1365856 ; LC E78.S65 F64 ; 973/.04/97 ; 8.6x5.9x0.9 Inches ; red cloth in dustjacket ; name on front endpaper ; "All of the papers in this volume were originally presented at the nineteenth annual meeting of the American Society for Ethnohistory held in Athens, Georgia, 13-16 October 1971." ; The Indians of the Southeast had the most highly centralized and complex social structure of all the aboriginal peoples in the continental United States. They lived in large towns and villages, built monumental mounds and earthworks, enjoyed rich religious and artistic achievements, and maintained a flourishing economy based on agriculture and complemented by time-honored hunting and gathering techniques. Yet they have remained relatively unknown to most scholars and laymen, in part because of a lack of collaboration between historians and anthropologists. Four Centuries of Southern Indians is a collection of nine essays which allow both historians and anthropologists to make their necessary contributions to a fuller understanding of the southern Indians. The essays span four hundred years, beginning with French and Spanish relations with the Timucuan Indians in northern Florida in the sixteenth century and ending with the modern Cherokees transported to Oklahoma. The interim topics include the social structure of the Tuscaroras of North Carolina in the eighteenth century, the role southern Indians played in the American Revolution, the removal of the southern Indians to the Indian Territory, and Cherokee beliefs about sorcery and witchcraft. This collection of essays and the cooperation between historians and anthropologists which it incorporates signify the beginning of what will undoubtedly prove a fruitful approach to the study of southern Indians. ; A very successful collection of important papers . . . The nine papers presented in Four Centuries of Southern Indians suggest the rich possibilities for research in Southeastern Indian history and culture. Prefaced with a fine introduction by Professor Hudson, the papers explore the variety of past and present issues touching the lives of many tribes.--American Indian Quarterly ; Makes a valuable contribution to the study of Indians in the South, even though the subjects are diverse and brevity militates against full development of some themes. --American Historical Review ; FINE/VG.
